TRIVIAL PURSUITS: What were used as the first ice hockey pucks?
Reported by PLANSPONSOR staff
What were used as the first ice hockey pucks?
Answer: Originally, ice hockey was played outdoors. The first hockey pucks were chunks of frozen cow dung.
When the game moved indoors, LaCrosse balls were used as pucks. However, rink owners found it preferable to cut the balls into thirds and just use the center.A Swedish hockey player once scored by squatting in the goal to release a puck that had gotten stuck in his pants.
